We look forward to seeing you soon at 304 Main! We'll be back to weekend hours in the New Year, but until then we have additional weekday hours for everyone who wants to ring in the New Year with a good book.

@booksandbeach11 Thank you all so much for coming! We were just talking about how glad we were that we had Jurassic Park and The Lost World for you all.

We'll be open this weekend for our normal hours - Saturday from 10 to 5, Sunday from 1 to 5. Stop by and see us at 304 Main! We've been adding hundreds of books to our inventory this week and have some other surprises in store as well.

Our store website is now live! https://t.co/HtNJJnrfb1 has links to store info, future events, haiku-format staff book recs and more! Just in case you hypothetically need an alternate place to follow our journey than, say, here.

The Bolin Books entrance is coming right along! My grandfather Marlin Seaton built these shelves for us 25 years ago in Arkansas and they’ve traveled with us now to two states, three houses, and one bookstore. Our classics and Kentucky sections now have a home.

Here's our new logo courtesy of @whitjobo! It's great to have a designer in-house. The design is inspired by the sign from my grandfather's drug store in Dixon, Kentucky.
